How to Change Cat Kibbles? Once your pet is accustomed to its daily portion of kibbles, it's best not to disrupt its habits... However, at certain times in the life of the cat, it is appropriate to offer a new food that will meet its new nutritional needs! So... to change your feline's kibbles, it's important to proceed intelligently to avoid disturbing the tolerance and digestion of the new diet. Zoomalia explains everything!
Multiple reasons may encourage you to change the diet of your four-legged companion to ensure robust health!
This change may be related to medical issues (renal failure, heart failure, obesity...). It then becomes essential to adapt the diet to improve the health and living conditions of your pet by prescribing specific kibbles.
Or, for physiological reasons, related to your cat's age. Kitten food will be enriched with vitamins and calcium to ensure proper growth.
In adulthood, you should provide them with food rich in animal proteins (meats and fish), while with maturity, you would choose lighter kibbles to avoid overweight.
The same nutritional needs evolve throughout your cat's life!
To reduce digestive issues and refusal to eat the new cat kibbles offered, it is essential to transition smoothly!
A 1 kg bag of the new kibbles should be sufficient for the transition. We start with a base of about fifteen days with observation of the first results on your pet!
Strategies involve reducing the portion every 3 days by a quarter of the usual kibbles with the new kibbles, then:
Now that you know the approach for a smooth transition in your little companion's diet, you must choose the right kibble.
Prefer premium quality food with as few grains as possible, since your cat is a strict carnivore. There are many ranges likely more suited to one of your pet's ailments (difficult digestion, skin issues...).
Inquire and seek advice from veterinarians to choose the most suitable kibble!
